The coin's story

Obverse: Bust to the right of 37-year-old Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara. Reverse: A canoe in which a "voyageur" and an Amerindian take place. "voyageur" was a traveling agent working for a fur trading company. Behind them there is a small island surmounted by two trees. In the sky, there's a boreal aurora. The letters HB are placed on either side of the canoe and represent the Hudson's Bay Company, a very important company in Canadian history.
